I fucking hate people sometimes. Learning you can no longer trust someone you once considered family just obliterates a piece of your soul. But hey, lesson learned the hard way, as fucking usual.

Major news outlets covering the $55 million Bezos wedding while most of us are living paycheck to paycheck, losing rights, watching friends and neighbors being disappeared… No one wants to have his life. We want him to pay his fair share in taxes. Report THAT.

Not all taxes are tariffs, but all tariffs are taxes.

Me, to my dog nine months out of the year: “We’ve been over this. Other dogs are allowed to live in our neighborhood, too.” Blaze, to me three months out of the year: “We’ve been over this. Tourists are allowed to live in our neighborhood too, Mom.”

You don’t need to attend every argument you’re invited to is a good guideline to remember nowadays.

The American Federation of Musicians has taken a stand against Trump! Never bend the knee, never give in in advance! #savedemocracy #theboss #tswift #standup #The1st

🧵The news about President Biden’s cancer brought me to tears. I believe—with everything he’s already survived—he’ll beat this too. Uncle Joe is a fighter. My heart is with him & the entire Biden family. I’m sharing a deeply personal story about Joe Biden, grief, & what it means to lead with love.

A) WHO did this! LMAO B) Melania’s tat ~ 😭☠️😭

We’ve been propagandized our entire lives and told how America is the envy of the world. Popping that bubble requires travel outside our third world country, or at least our hometowns. Some Americans will never be deprogrammed. Having to confront uncomfortable truths only increases defensiveness.

Trump is isolating us and making us too poor to leave. Typical abuser.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

So help me understand this... an AI is going to replace me. An AI gets training. I have had no training. Through my whole career, I have always had to train myself. Has anyone considered perhaps providing better training for the humans?

Morning zen.

Men will tank the economy on purpose instead of going to therapy.

You know the market situation is bad when Fox is covering it instead of a transgender monopoly player.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

“I’m interested in that thing that happens where there’s a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there’s no sign that it’s going to get any better, and that’s the point when people quit. But some don’t."

I did not have McConnell and Paul siding with us to repeal idiotic tariffs on my 2025 bingo card. Then it hit me: Kentucky bourbon. Follow the money… Also, this came up on shuffle and I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:

After watching Cory Booker's AMAZING speech, I started this quick portrait on the plane home from Cali yesterday. I made two versions with different quotes. I am making them available to print as protest posters on my patreon. You DO have to be a member to access them BUT you can sign up for free.

Hurts when you feel phased out.

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era

Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.

Having to go into work and act like everything is totally normal while the United States is spiraling into fascism, a second Great Depression and war is some kind of mind-fuck.
